The other day while brushing my teeth, I was practicing being present with awareness of the inner body as Eckhart Tolle describes in his writings. My awareness somehow expanded beyond just my body and I became aware of being one with the whole of everything which as best as I can describe was like a state of awe which was of course, awesome.

Being part of the whole, I realized that there is nothing special about me ...and strangely, this was a very liberating realization while it lasted. True freedom.

I have noticed that these experiences are not constant but are more like fluctuations or cyclic and I soon return to experiencing life as an isolated fragment again.
